We don't love someone because of their qualities, not only because they are beautiful, or whatever their characteristics are, not even because they are ugly, hunchbacked or poor: we simply love them because there is an intention in the world, the true content of which we cannot fathom, which it wants to express in an idea-like way itself, so that the world can be renewed in its eternal rotation, and according to incomprehensible aspects, it touches souls and nerves with its terrifying power, makes glands work, and dims radiant brains.

Hungarian

"Nem tulajdonságaiért szeretünk valakit, nemcsak azért, mert szép, s akármilyen sajátságos, még csak nem is azért, mert rút, púpos vagy szegény: egyszerűen szeretjük, mert a világban hat egy szándék, melynek igazi tartalmát nem tudjuk kifürkészni, mely ötletszerűen ki akarja fejezni magát, hogy megújulhasson örök forgásában a világ, s érthetetlen szempontok szerint érint meg félelmes erejével lelkeket és idegzeteket, működni késztet mirigyeket, elhomályosít sugárzó agyakat."
